📊 What the Data Tells Us
🏘️ Listing Volume Down 21%
Just like other top-tier neighborhoods, Lincoln Park has seen a notable drop in new listings. With only 490 homes listed YTD compared to 620 in recent years, low inventory is fueling a high-demand environment.
✅ Sales Volume Holding
Despite fewer listings, 287 homes sold in the first half of 2025—just a 7.4% decrease compared to previous years. This signals a steady stream of buyer demand, especially in a neighborhood with lasting appeal.
💰 Prices Up More Than 13%
The average home price in Lincoln Park surged to $929,454, up from $821,676 in the previous three-year average. That’s a 13.1% gain, confirming Lincoln Park's status as one of the most resilient—and in-demand—markets in the city.
📈 Sellers Are Receiving Full Asking Price
The list-to-close ratio jumped from 97.47% to a full 100%, meaning many homes are selling at or above list price. In a premium market like Lincoln Park, this is a strong signal that buyers are willing to pay top dollar for the right property.
⏱️ Homes Are Selling Over a Month Faster
Average market time dropped from 82 days to just 50—a 32-day improvement. In this high-stakes market, homes that are priced and presented well are moving quickly.
🔮 What’s Ahead for Lincoln Park Real Estate in Late 2025?
Here’s what Camille Canales Group is watching:
-
Inventory is unlikely to rebound sharply, which will continue to support price growth.
-
Turnkey homes with curb appeal—especially condos with parking and single-family homes near parks—will continue to drive bidding wars.
-
Sellers are in a strong position heading into the second half of the year.
